Raise Funds and Awareness

UWS needs volunteers to fundraise to enable our overseas operations and we need people to spread the word about our work.

Whether it’s raising £10 or £10,000, organising a cake sale or running a marathon – we know everyone has different demands on their time and energy and are grateful for any fundraising you do.

We’ll help you along the way as much as we can. Fundraising volunteers make an essential contribution to the work we do with marginalised children. Our schools are entirely funded by donations.

Current Fundraising Activities

Charley Boorman and Tae Le School, Cambodia

Charley Boorman, UWS Global Ambassador, recently visited many of our schools in Cambodia. Having seen the need and the difference that these schools make to the remote communities, he is fundraising to raise £30,000 to develop a school in the remote village of Tae Le. This school will give hundreds of children the opportunity to learn to read, write and count and will transform their lives.

If you would like to help develop a new UWS school in Tae Le you can donate here: justgiving.com/uws-tae-le

Fundraising is fun, rewarding and a great opportunity to meet lots of new people.
